A 12-year-old Beaumont girl is recovering from stab wounds to the stomach after an argument Wednesday night, Beaumont Sgt. Rob Flores said.

Police responded to apartments at the 5000 block of Pine St. at 7:13 p.m., where one 12-year-old girl had stabbed the other with a knife following an argument, Flores said.

The wounded girl was taken to Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital, where exploratory surgery was done to make sure no internal damage had occurred, he added. According to Flores, she is alert and concious.
